2 months and NSV

May 31, 2009

Today is 2 months since my surgery.  I still struggle to get in enough fluid, but I keep on going anyhow.  I had hubby take pics earlier, now it is a matter of seeing when I will feel like putting them on the computer and looking at them.  I am excited today.  I had a NSV that is finally following one I had last week.  First off, last week I put on one of my husbands size XL tshirts to see how tight it would be and get an idea how much further I had to go for that.  I was shocked when it fit just right!  I began wearing 2x and 3x shirts, now I have to find that ever so soft tshirt hubby bought me in '03 while in Kuwait.  It was the biggest one they had, and I had begun to think I would never be able to wear it.  Today I decided to once again try on a pair of capris that I had tried a few times before.  At first they were about 6 to 8 inches apart from buttoning/zipping.  Last week they were around 3 inches.  Today it was one of those lay down on the bed and make it happen, but they buttoned, zipped, and I wore them out in town!  I also took them off once I got home to be comfy in the computer chair LOL.  They are a size 24 by the label, but I had 24's that I was wearing pre-surgery that are now not able to stay on my body, 24's and 26's that I am wearing, but they are quite loose, and then this way smaller than any other 24 pair.  Next stop will be trying on some 22's once I can get some at our clothing swap or thrift store!  I am almost sure I was mostly in a size 28 if I had gotten any jeans in the right size before, so being in a tight 24 sounds good to me :)
